Later in this parallel world, 2007 is known as the launch period of the smartphone industry.
The year 2008 is known as the time of competition for smartphones.
All kinds of smart phones are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, which is simply unstoppable.
In 2008, it seems that every small company is full of ambitions to produce smartphones, intending to take a piece of this chaotic market.
This is somewhat comparable to the video game industry in the mid-1990s.
In contrast, video games have declined somewhat.
Or to be precise, there is a certain decline in video games on stand-alone handheld game consoles and home consoles.
Especially at the beginning of 2008, video games were in a trough.
"The most popular thing now should be the smartphone industry. What we need to do is to invest more money in the smartphone business, not video games!"
Many investors have been very fond of investing in video games in the past.
Because you can really make a lot of money.
But this year is different. This year, more hot money is invested in the smartphone market, and the investment share of video games will decrease rapidly. In the past, it seemed a bit wealthy, and game teams can now be counted as hundreds of people.
, game production costs can cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to produce.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Surui Electronics also had two video game works with investments exceeding 100 million US dollars last year.
As of today, one of them has barely recovered its investment, while the other one has made a small profit.
This small profit maker is "Sun Knight" which won the game of the year.
Although there is no loss, for capital, this is equivalent to a loss.
All they want is to make a lot of money.
Nowadays, video games obviously cannot make a lot of money. Looking at the other side, smartphones seem to be booming, so all fools know what to choose.
Surui Electronics' electronic game business unit inevitably fell at a disadvantage in this competition.
That year, the importance rating of Surui Electronics' game business department was declining rapidly, followed by an overall decline in the department's employee salaries.
This is indeed quite disappointing.
As the top player in the video game industry, Youxing Electronic Entertainment did not seem to be having an easy time at the beginning of this year.
The announcement of several works did cause a wave of heated discussion, but it did not last long because game development still takes time. Before the release, the heat could only be absorbed by other products.
Mickford can be said to be the hottest company at the moment, and Myron Case, who was once regarded as a lost dog, has once again become the object of countless people's attention.
He is also known as the first successful entrepreneur in the 21st century.
Everyone follows his example.
The MK2 smartphone was also a huge hit, welcomed by countless people, and even became a fashion trend, which is really hard to imagine.
Myron Keys was very satisfied with this series of results.
This is the result he wants to see.
Everything he ever predicted came true.
This proves that his previous judgments were correct.
No one will underestimate his judgment anymore!
He believed so firmly.
Then he took a look at the sales results of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in the first quarter of 2008 that he had obtained from the grapevine.
The whole situation was not as good as before, and he couldn't help but smile.
This enemy that was once his most troublesome is also declining.
Let me just say, the video game industry shouldn't be so popular. It seems like this is just a flash in the pan after all.
What people really like is high technology, or things that look more fashionable. Video games now feel like they can be declared ready to enter the grave.
The new era will belong to him.
However, there are also some good products in electronic games, such as Tetris, which is one of the few electronic games he recognizes.
But he did not admit that he really recognized the existence of video games, but separated Tetris from video games.
I just like this work, not the game itself.
It's just a little pity that this work I like cannot be logged into MK2.
Wait... maybe you can consider logging this work into your mobile phone at this time?
He gradually formed some ideas in his mind.
Then he picked up the phone and prepared to do something.
…
At the Tokyo headquarters of Yusei Electronic Entertainment, Yusei Takeshi is fully involved in the development of the game as usual.
This time there are three main games, Bayonetta, NieR Automata and Final Fantasy Crisis Core.
These three games are all excellent works that require a lot of effort.
Game development in other departments is also going on, but those games can be done by Zhuyousing with confidence.
Mario's derivative works, Wario's Maker, and Luigi's Haunted Mansion, all these can be done as long as they have a mature framework.
Zhu Youxing even encouraged them to use their imagination as much as possible. He can afford to lose money now, as long as it can stimulate the creativity of employees.
The production of Monster Hunter World is now coming to an end. Zhu Yuxing does not need to pay too much attention anymore. He only needs to release it step by step. His work is also over.
The release of Monster Hunter World is also scheduled after the Games Carnival.
"Zack must die. There is no way around it. It is an ending that cannot be changed."
"Meixiang, can Bayonetta be more sexy? I want her movements to be more gorgeous and elegant."
"2*B can also be made a little sexier. This is not simply kitsch. It can be regarded as a way to cater to the market. It is also a high requirement for design. This is why I firmly believe that only women understand beautiful women best.
How to create it.”
Zhu Youxing is running around in three game development departments. Even though he is in his thirties, he still seems to have endless energy and never knows how to get tired.
It seems that the only time-traveling BUG-level benefit is energetic and can continue to be maintained.
Some employees even found that Zhuyouxing seemed to be able to go days and nights without rest. Employees had long been accustomed to this, but this did not mean that they would not worry, so they would take the initiative to make some supplements at home from time to time.
He brought the item to the company and then gave it to his president to have it repaired.
It's not flattery, but pure concern. In their hearts, Zhu Yuxing is not only the president, but also a very friendly leader. They are very happy to have this leader lead them for a long time.
matter.
If this leader suddenly dies suddenly, it is not impossible for Youxing Electronic Entertainment to collapse instantly.
Therefore, Zhu Youxing enjoys a treatment that ordinary company bosses cannot enjoy: the collective care of employees, for fear that something unexpected will happen to his current president, Zhu Youxing.
While Zhu Youxing was busy, his daily assistant suddenly came to him. Generally speaking, the assistant would not disturb Zhu Youxing too much when he was focusing on game development.
But if you really bother me, it means there is something more important or unexpected.
"President, someone has offered to purchase the IP of one of our game works."
"Buy IP? Who?"
"The other party didn't say anything, they just said they were willing to buy it for US$100 million."
